Thinking out loud.. now lets see what kind of snake bite.. that can cause sickness, bruseing, swelling, abscess but not kill her?

ok now i called a guy that works with hots.. poisoness snakes.. he said there isnt any snakes out this time of year unless she dug it up.. but the posable snakes it could be that wont kill a dog but make them deathly sick is a Pygmy Rattler (if you have them in your area).. and a Copperhead...


He also said that she may have got cought in a barb wire fence... They can get tetness (spelling?) just like us..

I'd say a copperhead then too, they don't usually kill when they bite but the area swells up.
